It has nothing to do with Ryan's improvement. But after overpaid Perry, Getzlaf, Kunitz, Morrison and possibly Selanne, who does Ryan really have to beat out.Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17896285658845291441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-89536293230357401002008-07-14T16:29:00.000-07:002008-07-14T16:29:00.000-07:00Uh Oh, looks like Teemu might not be returning.Mig...<I>Uh Oh, looks like Teemu might not be returning.</I><BR/><BR/>Might not be returning... for training camp, that is.

Much better than watching them lose games they are heavily favored in like last seasons playoffs.<BR/><BR/>They could just end up more like the giant killers of 03 for a few years.<BR/><BR/>As for Ryan, if he sucks so bad why are so many GM's trying to alegidly aquire him? I think the game plan from day one was to bring him in slow to help fit Him, Perry & Getz all into the teams payroll.<BR/><BR/>If Teemu returns I could see them using Ryan with Getz & Perry and Keeping Kunitz Teemu & Morrison on the other line 5 on 5. Ryan can't do worse than Big Bert did on that line... could he?Mike in OChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831933744838119160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-55189472504608585662008-07-14T08:36:00.000-07:002008-07-14T08:36:00.000-07:00Yeah, I thought this year was shaping up to be the...Yeah, I thought this year was shaping up to be the Last Ride of Teemu & His Immortals.

If it comes down to a choice whether to have Ryan play at $1.8M or Selanne at a slightly higher number, I know which kid I'm sending down to the Pigs.<BR/><BR/><I>With the youth movement in the forward lines in Anaheim it’s a great time to be a Duck fan.</I><BR/><BR/>I wouldn't classify this season as a youth movement one bit.
